Italy: Muslims Urinate on and Destroy Virgin Mary Statue

2

More of that mutual respect and mutual understanding we are always being schooled on by our Islamic superiors. Imagine if anything, even remotely like this, was ever  attempted in a mosque — the mind reels. Photo above from a previous desecration of a Virgin Mary statue by Muslims.

They are slaughtering people and burning churches because of a couple of drawings. Imagine this.

Italy: Muslims Destroy and Urinate on Virgin Mary Statue, [Source: Alerta Digital] Portuguese  (thanks to Raymond Ibrahim), January 17, 2015

January 9. A man was kneeling in prayer before the statue of the revered Madonna, with the photograph of a loved one in hand, in the small chapel of St. Barnabas in Perugia (Italy), when he was attacked by five “immigrants.”

The first thing they did was rip the photo from his hands.

Next they unleashed their hatred against the image of the Virgin Mary. They broke the statue to pieces and then urinated on it.

Although this image appears in the report of the Italian news site Alerta Digital it is not of the Virgin Mary statue that was recently shattered and urinated on and is used in simulation.

Don Scarda, pastor of St. Barnabas, said the event was led by five “foreigners.” By the time police arrived at the chapel, the unidentified attackers had already fled.

The incident has caused a stir among locals. Some have lambasted Pope Francis who is accused of appeasing immigrants—mostly Muslims—to wild extremes. Earlier he had said that “Migrants, through their own humanity, cultural values, expand the sense of human brotherhood.”

Although the Diocese condemned the act of sacrilege against the Madonna statue, it also followed the Pope’s lead by absolving Islam of any responsibility for what happened. In the words of Monsignor Paolo Giulietti, the auxiliary bishop of Città della Pieve, near Perugia:

For Islam, the figure of Mary is very important: she is the mother of the Prophet Jesus conceived in virginity, and the Blessed Virgin is the most holy woman. Muslims pray at the Marian shrines in the Middle East. We cannot see in this act of vandalism—which as I said is wrong in every way—an episode of religious hatred. It is important not to feed mutual suspicion, especially at this time.

Meanwhile, Pope Francis has called on Catholics and Western people in general to refrain from insulting other religions—namely Islam: “It’s normal, it’s normal [violence]. One cannot provoke, one cannot insult other people’s faith, one cannot make fun of faith.”

He made these statements on January 16, apparently in reference to the Charlie Hebdo massacre, when armed Muslims killed a dozen non-Muslims working for a satirical magazine that had mocked Islamic prophet Muhammad.

One wonders if the Pope would call it “normal” if members of his own flock were to murder those who urinated on the Virgin statue?

Thanks to funding from neighbors, the desecrated image could be restored and replaced in its original location. Hundreds of Catholics participated that day in a rosary of relief.

What else would you expect to happen when you have a dhimmi Pope in the Vatican? Unfortunately, his weakness will encourage the enemy to attack, and all will suffer.

This is what happens when you don’t have a real Italian Pope… This guy is the worst I’ve seen he should be replaced by Italian born. If Italy don’t get rid of Islam it will destroy the civilized world. You can’t nation build when Islam exists, Extreme Fascism where the very few have all the wealth while the poor nothing. Islam supports Bacha Bazi it should be banned legally for allowing a pedophile along with the concept to be shown as positive. Look at the stuff going on in Afghanistan or Pakistan related to that crap. Obama telling soldiers to look the other way as boys scream out for help or agony. Do they have to help get rid of the body or just digging the hole is enough? Canada did it too, people have no clue about Islam or bother to read the clear violence. Russia had to start some military action since things are getting worse. Italy saved the world from 2 jihads this 3rd one might be too much to ask. Unless they are allowed to openly act, no refugees that are Islamic or welfare for them either. Get rid of all the mosques like they did the Confederate flag… It should have been done 9-11, a wake up call to the threat of Islam instead of blaming the few for the many. Until there are too many to stop, something has to happen soon or its over.
